Declining Perceptions of Competence: A Consequence of Changes in the Child or in the Educational Environment?
Stipek, Deborah J.; Daniels, Denise H.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v80 n3 p352-56 Sep 1988

Results suggest that developmental change in children's judgments about their competence must be understood in terms of interaction between age and classroom environment. (TJH)
